I wrote up a quick guide to help anyone interested in contributing to the project on the Github wiki here. It's nothing too complex, but I suggest reading it if you're new to any aspects of the project.

Feel free to edit the page in case some information has been left out or other improvements could be made.

However I feel that content like this guide and other info about the repo should probably stay on the github wiki; that would be more organized in my opinion. Of course there would still be stuff to discuss in the Development section.
